Summary
This study tests whether a hand transplant from a deceased donor can improve function, appearance, and sensation in people who have lost part or all of one or both hands or forearms due to injury. Up to 100 adults aged 18 to 60 will receive the transplant and be followed with exams, X-rays, and lab tests. The main goal is to see how often the body rejects the new hand, and participants will need lifelong medication to prevent rejection.
